They were classy guys who played their game the right way and not in a "look at me" way. Those guys are a dying breed.

Not necessarily because of this, but I wish there were more athletes like Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, etc. around. They were classy guys who played their game the right way and not in a "look at me" way. Those guys are a dying breed.

First off, you mention 2 guys in the same sport: the gentleman's sport. The same one that just recently had a guy lose a major (right?) based on a foul he applied to himself.

Second, there are quite a few athletes who still play this way, even in the nfl. Fitzgerald, Manning, witten, we have RB's who just put the ball down after a first down. Basically I think your full of it, these guys still exist. Are there fewer? Maybe, but the coverage is so vast of these athletes that their voice is much louder than in Nicklaus's day.
